Problems solved by technology
As a result, each holding tank often includes an exhaust vent outside of the vehicle that directs undesirable odors and other contaminants away from passengers inside the vehicle.
For example, undesirable odors are typically present in the immediate vicinity of the exhaust vent outside the vehicle.
In addition, particulates and other contaminants entrained in the exhaust tends to collect in higher concentrations on surfaces near the exhaust vent, increasing the risk of disease to people in the vicinity of the exhaust vent.
For example, pressurized systems or pumps may be used to inject chemicals or perfumes into the holding tanks to react with the liquid waste, but the chemicals and perfumes generally produce hazardous waste that requires additional disposal efforts, and the pressurized systems or pumps can be costly additions that require additional maintenance.
Furthermore, pipes and fittings installed in the interior of a waste holding tank can obstruct or retard the flow of body waste, toilet paper and other objects when draining said tank in violation of plumbing code.

Abstract
A system for treating emissions from a vehicle includes an ozone generator, a first holding tank, and an exhaust vent. The first holding tank is downstream from the ozone generator and defines a volume for liquid waste beneath a void space. The exhaust vent is downstream from the first holding tank and outside of the vehicle. A supply conduit connects the ozone generator to the void space of the first holding tank. An exhaust conduit connects the void space of the first holding tank to the exhaust vent. The ozone generator, supply conduit, void space of the first holding tank, exhaust conduit, and exhaust vent establish a thermal driving head from the ozone generator through the void space of the first holding tank to the exhaust vent.
Description
RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to previously-filed non-provisional application filed Sep. 1, 2017, assigned application Ser. No. 62 / 605,900, and titled “METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR NEUTRALIZING ODORS AND KILLING SURFACE AND AIRBORNE PATHOGENS IN RECREATIONAL VEHICLE AND MARINE WASTE HOLDING TANKS,” which is incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Any disclaimer that may have occurred during prosecution of the above-referenced application is hereby expressly rescinded.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally involves a system for treating bacterial, viral, and / or odor emissions from a vehicle. In particular embodiments of the present invention, the system may reduce or neutralize odors and / or airborne pathogens from a holding tank in the vehicle.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many vehicles such as boats, campers, trains, and aircraft include kitchens, bathrooms, and other facilities that generate various forms o...
